Recently, I am playing Gradle, which is a similar tool as Maven. What I usual do is to depoly webiste into Tomcat. Refer this Deploy Website into Tomcat 7 with Maven. Here is my note to deploy website with Gradle.
I have two servers in DigitalOcean, and both of them are Ubutun with tomcat 7. Recently, I found that if I want to restart tomcat, it will cost me more than 5 minutes(No errors during this). And the worest is(almots half an hour): 1INFO: Server startup in 1497026 ms
It happens from one month ago after I changed my windows domain password(Damn windows forced me to do that). Then every time when I want to commit to server, I need to input my password(SVN won’t save it for me), what’s more, SVN always needs more than 3 minutes to connect with server at background.
Sometime, when I failed to restart my tomcat7 server, and in the log, it returns error: **address already in use!**
I have written a PayPal Credit Card payment plugin for jFinal, so I just share it here! It is hosted in my GitHub: https://github.com/zhouhao/PayPal-CreditCard-Payment-jFinal
I have many servers, which run Java Web applications. For development, I like Jetty, but for production, I prefer Tomcat7 now. In ubuntu, you need root permission to use ports under 1024.
Recently, I always have work in Ubuntu servers. And sometimes when I tried to output a timestamp from server side to front end, I find something is “wrong”. Such I want time in EST, but the default is UTC.
